I wanted to help everyone start their week with a little series of uplifting thoughts. Goodness knows, we all need some sooner or later, so I thought sooner was better! These are not new, but perhaps a gentle reminder from people much smarter than I.
"Happiness makes up in height for what it lacks in length."
- Robert Frost
"Happiness is nothing more than good health and a bad memory."
-Albert Schweitzer
"If only we'd stop trying to be happy we'd have a pretty good time."
-Edith Wharton
"The mind is its own place, and in itself, can make heaven of Hell, and a hell of Heaven."
-John Milton
"Sanity and happiness are an impossible combination."
-Mark Twain
"Happiness is as a butterfly which, when pursued, is always beyond our grasp, but which if you will sit down quietly, may alight upon you."
-Nathaniel Hawthorne
"Happiness, it seems to me, consists of two things: first, in being where you belong, and second -- and best -- in comfortably going through everyday life, that is, having had a good night's sleep and not being hurt by new shoes."
-Theodor Fontane
"The essentials to happiness are something to love, something to do, and something to hope for."
-William Blake
